That's the copy that was found in Morganville, NJ on November 11, 2013. It also included the manual. There's also a loose cartridge that predates this one by a few months, however I lost the photo and date of the listing. It may as well not exist, however I know the person who currently owns it, so it's not lost...it's just "MIA" right now. Lastly, there's the CIB copy that was discovered on April 23, 2016. It was purchased for $5.00 along with a bunch of other random CIB NES, Coleco, and Atari games.

I managed to do 10 in a single stack. Not sure how that guy on Twitter did a "double stack" like that using only one hand. Are we allowed to use our other hand to "start it off" or do we have to pick up the entire stack single handedly without any assistance?

Courtesy of @DK I believe he sold it years ago on NA before even knowing what he had :\

You know, come to think of it. I absolutely can. I have the proper paperwork and my company is technically a janitorial service. The only problem is that all of my marketing, sales pitches, and even my business name is super specific to my niche and may even seem grotesque to someone out of the loop of the industry term my company is named after. I think I’ll focus this week on getting a dba established and try to put together a simple website for marketing. Especially so if this PPP thing doesn’t work out. Even though my niche is hazardous waste (lead), I’m willing to drop my prices to non-hazardous rates. The BIGGEST hurdle right now is PPE. Those tyvek suits are nearly worth their weight in literal gold right now. But maybe no hazardous work won’t require the coveralls...gotta read into it a bit.

All small businesses are suffering right now. Even a “recession proof” business like mine is suffering. Our clients have cancelled almost all cleaning services and as a result we lost about 90-95% of all income. We can probably bounce back because our customers are also recession proof businesses. But we will need supplemental income until then. Last night I submitted my application for a PPP loan (part of that $2t stimulus) to get us by for the next two and a half months. I have no idea if I’ll get approved but I hope I do. Through this ordeal I’ve been paying all my employees, vendors, and customers. But the coffers are running dry and I would hate to close up shop because of this virus—especially after my business JUST STARTED to turn a profit after 18 months and over $100k in investments.

TG-16 and Master System greatly interest me. But I still have so much to do for NES, SNES and Game Boy before I venture out into the wild

The three screw stinger is irrefutably legitimate. There is a box floating out there with no Hangtab and a REV-A on top of the circle seal of quality. It’s as rare as 5-Screw Stadium Events, though significantly less valuable....I still do not have board pictures of it

Yeah, it's about time for Wii to get also nostalgiafied. The Wii was released Q4-2006 so, the 5 to 12 year olds from then are now 18-25 now. Though, with 1000+ games I don't see too many "full set" collectors.

There's (again, generally) two more steps up from N100/P100. N100/P100 is what we call "HEPA" (High Efficiency Particulate Air) but the next step up from there is "ULPA" (Ultra Low Particulate Air" which has an efficiency of at least 99.999% of all particulates 0.12 microns and larger. I don't think I've ever seen an ULPA mask, but if it existed then it would probably be extremely expensive and would probably be in the same price range as the next step up...SCBA. SCBA, is a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus...basically a full face mask and a tank of air. It's 100% efficient because you're not breathing any outside air. (p.s. this is where "SCUBA" gets its name from...the extra U is just short for Underwater)

You laugh, but in my industry the difference of even a 99% mask and a 99.97% mask is the difference of instant termination, OSHA fines, and of course overexposure to lead particles above PEL (Permissible Exposure Limits) which may result in lead poisoning. There are (generally speaking) two grades of particle filter masks. N, and P each with their own ratings. N masks are not oil resistant, while P masks are. When worn properly: N95/P95 is capable of filtering at least 95% of all particles, 0.3 microns or larger. N99/P99 is capable of filtering at least 99% of all particles, 0.3 microns or larger. N100/P100 is capable of filtering at least 99.97% of all particles, 0.3 microns or larger. At least, so I've been taught.

I've just been bumping peoples carts out of my way. People want to wear no mask? Fine, so be it...this is America. But don't block my stride with your cart.

It's also NIOSH certified to filter 99.97% of all particulates 0.3 microns or smaller! Those N95 masks are only certified to filter 95% of all particulates when worn properly.

Also, added the list of confirmed NWC Grey Carts.

Nah, no chance it was a reseal. These things were packaged by hand, so it's bound to have some damage somewhere on the assembly line. Some internal damage will easily pass QC...also, remember this particular copy was banged up in the corner (which popped out VERY easily by hand even while still sealed...oh well)

Huge Update with new stuff from... @Bubbapauls @PuppyWaffles @ALLKAPS @EdgeOfPortal @DefaultGen @Chaos Control @JVOSS and one person who isn't a member here, shortstop444.

I have to imagine with the economic uncertainty, all collectible markets will be trending downward. I've already seen a lot of people listing entire collections, or their own personal centerpieces up on eBay due to the coronavirus. I imagine if things don't get back up and running soon (which, they shouldn't for health reasons) then collectibles will quickly lose value as people begin sacrificing their non-essentials first.

Ooh, I've never even seen the right side. Was wondering If I ever would see it. Any chance you can scan it and send me a copy for archive?

Yes, I'm in the supermarket. No, I don't care what people think.

Wasn't there a Metal Slug 1 recently on NEO-GEO.com?

Well, I hate to disappoint but I posted it on my IG a while ago and forgot to post it here. Life comes at me in waves and I had a very, very busy three months. Anyway, here's the results. Yep...Electrobrain logo :(

Neat list. I’m gonna dig through the library myself and see if there’s anything else I’d also like to see a list of arcade ports, and console ports/co-releases.

Gonna do both. Also, does an NES bit open these games as well? Hope so otherwise you’ll have to wait on the date codes. Well we will find out soon enough! I’m at work right now so I can’t post yet but I’m super excited to open it.

This is the one that’s been on eBay for ages. I was serious when I wanted to go halfsies with whoever was interested in the contents and I didn’t want to wait anymore It was being sold by the Digital Press store in Clifton, NJ so I just messaged them and asked if I can pick it up in store and if they could give me a break on the price. I live in NJ so it’s only an hours drive from my house. They knocked off 10% for me so it went from $125 to $112. Still a heck of a lot of money for a crappy condition game with a cheap variant, but it is absolutely a “for science” purchase and I had the extra cash on hand....plus I’m going all out with the Milton Bradley collecting. I even picked up half of the Milton Bradley MicroVision set CIB while I was there in the store. Ill post a video when I get the time. I want to make it nice but I have work.

Yo @RH look what I’m gonna open soon...I hope you have to hunt for a super rare variant game now because I spent a pretty penny to get this...
